A Grand Avenue to Mount vernon.

1t is proposed to construct 4 grand
avenue from the toni of Washington to
the Federal capital, work of interest to
every citizen of the republic. This enter
prise was first suggested by The National
Republican, from whose columns we ex-
tract the following: 1t is proposed that
the avenue shall be $50 feet wide twenty
five feet on each side for parking-and
that each state and territory shall have
apportioned to it 400 yartls--or nearly a
quarter of mile--where it will plant as
shade trees specimens of native growth,
erect a marble tablet with the name Of
the state, its coat of arms, and in the case
of the original thirteen the names of the
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, together with such statuary in
bronze or marble as the state shall chose
TO erect. 1t is further proposed that the
original thirteen states shall have choice
of the ground, commencing at the tomb
of the great leader. who, both in peace
and war, is ranked rs first in the hearts
of his couDtrymen, and that the other
states ard territories secure the next plats

Old Time railroad i,nsihess.

No man will dispute the fact that the
railroad business of the country has come
down to cold facts. The romance that In.
vested the old timers has departed, and
sobriety and energy have taken the place
of drunkenness and dare deviltry. Why,
in the old times, conductors on Texas
runs used to turn i'm ''cash fares" aggre-
eating from 70 cents to So, when the trip
was worth in cold cash all the way from
$75. to 5000. "A regular association
operated on all the trunk lines, and al
function points the brakeman Of one
brain would unblushingly lead q crowd OF
travellers to the conductor of another
road, and after telling him they were
ssstraight" he would return and divide
their part of the through rate. In this
way everything went on mileage basis
each road kept its own fares, and there
was no expensive pro rata adjustments al
the end of the month. Spotting, checks
on the linen, diagrams and berth checks
have killed nearly all crooked work on thu
sleeping car systems, but the most effec
tive remedy was adopted by the tive
great companies. They have so many
men ready for service that they car
change the runs often enough to proven
doubtful conductors or porters learning
their run well enough to get ahead of TIN
company. Railroad Detective in Globe

The shakers of New Lebanon.

They are queer people to look at. If
they were not. pitiful they would seem
| ridiculous. The men, as rule, are TALL
thin, bent. They dress in conventional
garments of dark colors, which fit them
like the covers on bicycles; not as well,
perhaps. They wear hats of different
materials, but all have very broad
brim. The broadness of the brim seems
to indicate devoutness, as the length of
the finger nail in China indicates schol-
arly rank. When they go to church the
men march together, two and two. They
bend slightly, fix their eyes ahead OF
them, say never a word, A smile seems
sin. They pay great attention to
dietetics, but are mostly poor subjects
physically. Any student of religion from
the standpoint of social utility would find
them valuable field of investigation,
Just as all abnormal cases throw light ON
the vexed problems of any science.
The women appear better. There is a
peculiar cheeriness and sweetness about
them unless they are over 35, when, as a
rule, they show physical decadence dis
proportionate to their years. They dress
in deep Shaker bonnets of yellow straw
and wear gray gowns without artificial
aids to symmetry. The skirts fall away
from the waist straight and simple. An
invariable handkerchief about the neck
covers the chest in prim simplicity. The
dresses vary slightly in color but are all
in soft grays and browns. The effect of
o small company of them marching to
church is unique. They look exactly
like the little women that come in toy
boxes for toy villages. AT times they
seem like strange flocks of little human
birds with the lavender and white plum
age of the sea gull. The faces of the
young women are bright and CHEEKY and
fresh. Those of tho elders are drawn
and unhappy.

The Turkish cuisine must he tasted to
be appreciated. The basis of all culinary
operations in Stamboul is a certain kind
Of tallow extracted from the broad and
thick extremity of the Caraman sheep.
This tallow has an odor so potent that we
would not use it even for candles. The
Turks are essentially vegetarians. They
eat beef very rarely, and never pork or
veal. They indulge in ducks, lean fowls
and finally sheep, the flesh of which they
cut off in small pieces. These pieces are
strung upon long spits, which are held
and turned for some minutes over hot
Goals, where they are slowly roasted, re-
tanning all their juices. This is what is
called kebab, a healthful and nutritious
food, which Europeans find delicious.
Turkish pastry is quite varied, and would
not be disagreeable if honey and sugar
were not used so abundantly, and if the
taste of tallow could be excluded. Bak-
lava and ekmek kataif Chick cakes cooked
in honey, perfumed with rosewater and
covered with caimak, q kind of creamy in
particular, recall very savory memories.
Pashas and rich Turks always have at
their repasts great number of dishes,
which the servants bring in on brass
platters and place on the mat on the floor
or sometimes ON small low tables, around
which the guests squat themselves. They
eat in silence and in grave manner, and
serve themselves generally with their
fingers as well as with their forks, and
with their teeth as well as with their
knives. Nevertheless. they deign to use
q spoon to convey to their mouths food
that is not very solid, like slowed rice,
malebi, kind of cooked cream and
iaourt, thick and btterish milk, of all
of which they are very fond. Their
drink consists of clear water, but this
does not prevent them from imbibing be-
fore their repast white liquor, raki,
which is made of the gum of the mastic
tree mixed with alcohol. 1t is an agree
able drink, but it is used like absinthe,
the taste and properties of which it pos
sesses. Its use, and even its abuse, does
not bring remorse to tho conscience of
the Turks, for Mohammed has forbidden
them to use wine, but he forgot, prophet
though he was, to foresee the manufac-
ture of raki, an invention more modern
than his own.-- American Analyst.

Never Get beyond Twenty-Five Inches.
. Writing of waists, it has often occurred
to me, when reading ''dress exchange
columns" that women, in mentioning
the size of their waists, never seem to get
beyond the regulation twenty-five inches.
Occasionally, notice some courageous
individual announces that she measures
twenty-three inches, but beyond that no
one seems to dare go. Ofteper than not
we see eighteen, nineteen, twenty and
twenty-one inches severally quoted as
being the waist size. Now, one cannot
help feeling of certainty that in count
less cases this does not represent natures
standsfd. 1t is too uniform by far, for
the great mother delights in variety,
never moro openly expressed than in re-
lation TO the human form divine. Alas,
the divinity Of shape is often destroyed
by foolish folks who think some reduc-
ton Of size absolutely essential to beauty.
am sure any one who has noticed the
fact ] draw attention to will see that
between twenty-three and twenty-eight
inches is great gulf fixed, and that very
few unmarried women will confess to In

CAPTURE OF The swoRpElsH.

rho Hickory Pole IIarpoou and the
Lance-How tho Fish IN Killed.
The apparatus employed in the capture
OF swordflsh, Professor Goode saws, is
simple. 1t is o harpoon with q detach-
able head. When the fish is struck the
head of the harpoon remains in the BODY
OF the fish, and carries with it n LIGHT
rope, which is either made fast or held
by man in Il small boat, or is attached
to some kind of buoy, which is towed
through the water by the struggling fish,
and which marks its whereabouts after
death. The harpoon consists of q pole
fifteen or sixteen feet in length, usually
OF hickory or some other hard wood,
upon which the bark has been left. SO
that tho harpooner may have firmer
hand grip. This pole is from an inch
and half to two inches i'm diameter.
and at ono end is provided with an iron
rod or shank about two feet long and
five-elghths of an inch in diameter.
This shank is fastened to the pole bv
means OF conical or elongated, cuplike
expansion at one end, which fits over the
sharpened end of the pole, to which it is
secured by screws or spikes. A light line
point where it joins the shank, and in
this,line is tied loop, by which is made
fast another short line, which secures the
pole to the vessel or boat, so that when il
is thrown at the fish it cannot be lost.
Upon the end of the shank fits the head
of the harpoon.
The entire weight of the harpoon, pole
shank and head should not exceed eight
cen pounds. The line is from 80 tc
100 fathoms long. In addition to the
harpoon, every swordfsherman carries
lance. This implement is precisely
similar to whaleman's lance, except
that it is smaller, consisting of lanceo-
late blade perhaps one inch wide and
two inches long, upon the end of a
shank OF five-eighths inch iron, perhaps
two or three feet in length, fastened in
the ordinary way upon q pole fifteen TO
eighteen inches in length.
The swordlsh are always harpooned
from the end of the bowsprit of q sailing
vessel. 1t is next to impossible to APP
proach them in q small boat. All ves-
sells regularly engaged in this fishery are
supplied with special apparatus. called
crest OF pulpit" for the support of the
harpooner as he stands on the bowsprit.
and this is almost essential to success.
When the fish is from six to ten feet in
front of the vessel it is struck. The har-
poon is never thrown. the pole being too
long. The strong arm of the harpooner
punches the dart into the back of tho
fish, right at the side of the high dorsal
fin, and the pole is withdrawn and fast
ened again to its place. When tho dart
has been fastened To the fish the line is
allowed to run cut as far rs the fish will
carry it, and is then passed in q small
boat, which is towing at the stern. Two
men jump into this. and pulling in upon
the line until the fish is brought in along
side, it is then killed with whale lance
or q whale spade. which is struck into
the gills. New York Mail and Express.
